New Pocketwizard Plus III's - simple and faultless

A situation arose today where we had a chance to pick up 3 of the new PocketWizard Plus III units and immediately employ them (within minutes of getting our hands on them) on a studio shoot.

Initial impressions are that these units are extremely simple to setup and use. Plug some AA batteries in, turn them on, test them, hook them up to the Studio Strobes, set the zones you want, set one up on your primary camera and you're all set... Zero dramas, zero misfires, zero inconvenience, no missed shots and much better communication with clients. Both Mark and I were suitably impressed with these new toys and we're immediate converts.

OK - PocketWizards are more expensive than some other systems out there that I won't name here - but for simplicity and reliability one can not complain about these transceivers.

Over the next few weeks we will be experimenting with more of these units - and I will post more as we discover more uses for them. But if you're debating whether to get these or not - I'd be getting them for sure, unless you want ETTL control over flash units, in which case I recommend the Mini TT1 and Flex TT5.

PocketWizard Plus III --> Highly recommended...!
